Server Technology C2W36TE-DCMFAM99 Switched 3-Phase Rack PDU

Overview

The C2W36TE-DCMFAM99 is a switched, outlet-level rack PDU built for data center cabinets running 208V 3-phase Delta power at real density. It's rated for 8.6kW of input power capacity through a NEMA L15-30P plug pulling 30A (24A rated current), and it carries 36 total outlets split across 18 C13 and 18 configurable HDOT Cx positions. If you're standardizing a colocation row or an edge compute cabinet where every outlet needs individual reboot control and remote visibility, this is the class of PDU to be looking at. The C2W36TE-DCMFAM99 (often searched as C2W36TE DCMFAM99) belongs to Server Technology's Server Technology catalog, specifically the PRO2 switched line within the broader power distribution units category.

Key Features

• HDOT Cx Outlets (18x): Cx is a UL-tested hybrid outlet that accepts both C14 and C20 plugs, so you're not locked into stocking two cable types for mixed server and switching gear — one outlet footprint covers both.
• 18x C13 Outlets: Standard C13 positions cover the majority of server and network-equipment power cords already in your spares bin, so cabling stays predictable across racks.
• Switched Outlet Control: Cycle power to individual outlets or outlet groups remotely to reboot a hung server or shut down an idle receptacle — no walking the data center floor for a manual power cycle.
• Per-Inlet Power Sensing (PIPS): Monitors current (A), voltage (V), power (W), apparent power (VA), crest factor, power factor, and energy at the inlet, giving you the real numbers to catch a cabinet drifting toward its capacity ceiling before it trips.
• Branch Current Monitoring: Tracks current at each breaker branch (≤16A rating) and fires SNMP alerts on high usage — the early warning that keeps a loaded three-phase cabinet from an unplanned breaker trip.
• Branch Circuit Protection: Meets UL/IEC 62368-1 branch protection requirements via UL 489 magnetic-hydraulic breakers, with a 10 kAIC interrupt rating for short-circuit withstand on the branch circuits.
• Alternating-Phase Outlets: Distributes the three input phases across adjacent outlets so load balancing across a 208V 3PH Delta feed doesn't require manual phase-mapping at install time.
• Hot-Swap Network Card with Star Multi-Linking: Links up to four power circuits under one IP address, and the Primary Expansion PDU keeps backup power to the network card if the Primary unit loses power — network visibility survives a single feed failure.
• Temperature/Humidity Monitoring: Supports two external 10' (3m) T/H probes on Primary and Expansion units, pushing SNMP alerts and email notifications when a cabinet's ambient conditions drift out of range.
• Auto-Flip Current Display: LED readout cycles current per phase for a fast visual check during install or a walk-through audit, without opening a management UI.
• Gigabit Network Management: 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet plus RS-232 serial and an RJ-12 link port give you multiple paths into the unit, with protocol support across HTTP(S), SSH, Telnet, SNMP, (S)FTP, SMTP, Syslog, and LDAP(S) for whatever monitoring stack the facility already runs.

Integration & Compatibility

The C2W36TE-DCMFAM99 fits into standard remote power management workflows through its SNMP and Syslog support, so it slots into existing NOC monitoring without a proprietary agent. Physically it's a 70.0in x 2.2in x 2.5in vertical zero-U profile, sized for 42U+ cabinets where horizontal rack space stays reserved for compute. Rated operating range is 0°C to 60°C at 8%RH to 90%RH humidity, up to 6,500ft elevation — wide enough for most raised-floor data center environments without supplemental cooling requirements at the rack. Storage spec extends to -40°C to 85°C for staging or spares inventory. Certifications include UL 62368-1, CSA C22.2 No. 62368-1, FCC Part 15 Class A, and CAN ICES-003 Class A, covering both US and Canadian commercial deployment. Pair it with a compatible temperature/humidity probe to activate the environmental monitoring, and review a power distribution planning guide before sizing breaker branches across a multi-PDU row.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What input voltage and plug does the C2W36TE-DCMFAM99 use?

A: It runs on 208V 3-phase Delta power through a NEMA L15-30P plug, rated for 30A input current (24A rated) and 8.6kW capacity.

Q: How many outlets does the C2W36TE-DCMFAM99 have?

A: 36 total outlets: 18 standard C13 and 18 configurable HDOT Cx outlets that accept both C14 and C20 plugs.

Q: Can I control individual outlets remotely on the C2W36TE-DCMFAM99?

A: Yes. As a switched PDU, it supports cycling power to individual outlets or outlet groups for remote server reboots or shutting down unused receptacles.

Q: What's the branch circuit breaker rating on the C2W36TE-DCMFAM99?

A: Branch circuits are rated at ≤16A with UL 489 magnetic-hydraulic breakers and a 10 kAIC interrupt rating.

Q: What network protocols does the C2W36TE-DCMFAM99 support?

A: HTTP(S), SSH, Telnet, SNMP, (S)FTP, SMTP, Syslog, and LDAP(S), over a 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet interface, plus RS-232 serial and an RJ-12 link port.

Q: What certifications does the C2W36TE-DCMFAM99 carry?

A: UL 62368-1, CSA C22.2 No. 62368-1, FCC Part 15 Class A, and CAN ICES-003 Class A.

Karl Wilson

The C2W36TE-DCMFAM99 is one I point people toward when they're standardizing a colocation row on 208V 3-phase Delta and need outlet-level control, not just a monitored strip. 8.6kW at 30A on an L15-30P plug is enough headroom for a dense compute cabinet, and the 18 HDOT Cx positions give you flexibility to run C14 or C20 cords in the same physical slots as gear changes over time.

Technical Highlights:

• 36 total outlets (18 C13 / 18 HDOT Cx): covers standard server cords and higher-draw C20 equipment from the same chassis, so a hardware refresh doesn't force a PDU swap.
• Per-Inlet Power Sensing (PIPS): gives you current, voltage, power, VA, crest factor, power factor, and energy per inlet — the data I actually use to catch a cabinet creeping toward its 24A rated current before it trips a breaker.
• Branch circuit protection at ≤16A with 10 kAIC interrupt rating: UL 489 magnetic-hydraulic breakers on each branch mean a downstream fault trips locally instead of taking the whole PDU offline.

Deployment Considerations:

• The Star Multi-Linking feature lets you manage up to four power circuits under a single IP — plan your IP allocation accordingly if you're linking multiple PDUs in one cabinet row.
• Zero-U mounting at 70.0in tall means you need full-height rack rail clearance; confirm cabinet depth (2.5in unit depth) doesn't conflict with cable management arms before ordering.

This is the right call for a colocation or hyperscale-adjacent cabinet standardizing on 3-phase Delta power where facilities wants branch-level monitoring and outlet-level reboot control without a separate remote power management appliance.
